“I shall always remember the STUDENTS  who continued to fight for Asian American Studies since 1974 all the way through the struggles of the early to mid-1990s, when the activists would be threatened with disciplinary action.

Finally, the year 1996 saw a turning point. That struggle is what should be celebrated. The university only relented when activism raised the ante.”
